Even the global fund praised our statistical upgrades and resilience. But guess what? Some ‘naraz phuphas’ still aren’t buying it. First, they said the data was fake. Then, the method changed. Then, last year’s numbers were revised. Now? They’re just… naraz. Criticism is healthy; but constant disbelief, even when global experts nod? That’s not skepticism. It’s stubbornness. Growth doesn’t mean all problems are solved; jobs, inflation, investment still need work. But celebrating a win doesn’t make you blind. It makes you balanced. The IMF isn’t cheering blindly; it’s seeing facts. Maybe it’s time we do too. After all, naraz phupha toh naraz hi rahenge. But India? We’re moving forward.
